[RFC PATCH] mm/vmalloc: fix vbq->free breakage

From: hailong.liu
Date: Thu May 30 2024 - 05:31:53 EST


From: "hailong.liu" <hailong.liu@xxxxxxxx>

The function xa_for_each() in _vm_unmap_aliases() loops through all
vbs. However, since commit 062eacf57ad9 ("mm: vmalloc: remove a global
vmap_blocks xarray") the vb from xarray may not be on the corresponding
CPU vmap_block_queue. Consequently, purge_fragmented_block() might
use the wrong vbq->lock to protect the free list, leading to vbq->free
breakage.

BTW, zhangyang also encounter the same issue, maybe revert commit not a
better solution. we need a map to get vbq from vb.
